Magisto
upload your raw video footage via Magisto's web app or iPhone app and Magisto automatically analyzes it. State of the art computer vision technology detects and indexes people, scenes and behaviors, understanding the difference between people, pets, landscapes, toys and more.
iMovie
With this software you can make movies including voice clips, sound effects, pictures, transitions, you can match your picictures showing up on the sceen length with the length of voice clip and many more things. Some useful tools in this application are the timing of your image and the length of your voice clip, also you can add transitions in between picture. You can also do the ken-burns tools the feature enables a widely used technique of surrounding parts of an image tightly to still photographs in motion pictures, displayed with slow zooming and fading transitions between frames. Yes, the application does what it is intended to do. You can create a movie including effects, pretty good I would say. I like htat you can add many effects and it is easy and quick to do. I do not like how sometimes you have to redo things several times so you can get the voice clip or anything the way it is meant to be without cutting off and of the voice clip for example. You can use this software in class to create movies to display any work you may have done trough the year or to display a few pictures and read off a poem or some kind of article. Yes, there are templates and they are that you can add scrolling credits, gradient- white, gradient-black, echo, formal, and more. This is a great application for any type of showing pictures for get togethers, or even just for schoolwork. I recommend trying out this application.-- Kennedy Szekely DT
